The first critic reactions have been positive with Colliders Perri Nemiroff describing Gran Turismo as “a solid adaptation” via Twitter he continued his praise saying.

Lots of very effective handheld and more intimate camera work with real texture that makes it all feel visceral, and really brings you close to the characters and the action.“
